Chapter 706: Confronting the Court
. Zhu Tu and Chen Yunan walked to the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate as if they were mourning, but as soon as they entered the door, their faces immediately changed, their chests were straightened, and their expressions were calm. The tiger is not dead, let alone dead!
In the case of the national prince, ordinary officials do not want to be contaminated, and only the officials of the eldest prince and the second prince's faction want to be contaminated, but they have their own fears. Whether the Peng family is the White Lotus Sect or not, the officials of the princeling faction have no idea in their hearts, Xia Xun didn't say anything to them in advance, and when he came back, he was restricted from embarrassment, and it was impossible to ask him clearly.
Although Xue Pin took great care of Xia Xun's life, he would definitely not dare to take risks if he let him personally indulge in officials to see Xia Xun, not to mention that who knew secretly if anyone was staring at Xia Xun, once he came into contact with him, his whereabouts fell into the hands of others, but he gave people a handle. Therefore, the princelings did not dare to make a move easily.
And Chen Ying also instructed the second prince in advance, don't take advantage of this opportunity to fall into the ground, now the second prince should be Taoguang obscure, if the emperor is annoyed, this Yunnan probably doesn't want to go and has to go, so the officials of the second prince's faction also remained silent. Although Ji Gang has a lot of authority, he lacks allies, he is a member of the prince's family, and even the officials of the prince's department have excluded him, so you can imagine how isolated he is in the court, so he can't afford to make a huge noise.
But Zhu Tu and Chen Yunan's self-help actions broke this deadlock, and the officials of the prince's department took the opportunity to grasp the arson case and held on to it.
Both sides are dancing swords, and their intentions are in Xia Xun, but they are both making a big fuss about the arson case, and they have not directly intervened in the White Lotus Sect case, Zhu Di is so vigilant, and immediately the ministers have an attempt to use the arson case as an excuse to provoke a bigger dispute, so they decisively ordered: Immediately close the case. Zhu Tu and Chen Yunan were self-defeating and prompted the arrival of the death date in advance
They are not fools, at this point, even if there is still a glimmer of hope and a little fantasy in their hearts, how can they not know that the possibility of failure and death is greater? What's even more tragic is that even if they pull Ji Gang into such a big crime as framing Guogong, they can't save themselves. And Ji Gang has promised that once things go wrong, they will sacrifice their lives and treat their families well, even if they are implicated and demoted to official slaves, they will definitely save them.
Although Ji Gang is a power-hungry person and cruel by nature, he has a benefit, and he must learn from his words! And Zhu Tu and Chen Yunan also know that even if Ji Gang doesn't want to abide by the promise, he will treat his family well, Ji Gang is a lonely minister in the court, and he doesn't want his subordinates to deviate from morality again, this is a move to attract people's hearts.
Therefore, these two river crossers who have no way back can only go one way to the dark, when they come, they already have poison hidden in their bodies, once they fail, they can only die!
It's a battle of life and death, from the very beginning!
In the main hall of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the highlight of today is the trial of Yang Xu, which is the most critical moment.
But Lian Ying has almost no hope for this, although others admit that the first master of the court is Chen Ying, but Chen Ying knows very well that if Yang Xu, the Duke of Fuguo, is the dean of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, he may not be inferior to him. Although he was not present at the case of Yang Xu, an official of the Eastern Zhejiang Navy Division, he collected all the files and read them carefully due to his professional habits, and Chen Ying, a great expert, was quite convinced by Yang Xu's powerful counterattack methods, meticulous analytical ability, and very logical rebuttal language.
Without strong physical evidence, even the only human witness is hard to say, will he retract his confession, so he wants to charge a minister with rebellion? This kind of thing is not impossible, but if you want to succeed, either the emperor has the intention to get rid of him, or this official does not have enough energy to reach the heavens, and the auxiliary prince is so easy to deal with?
Xu Yan Zeheng was carried up, although he was seriously treated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Xu Yan Zeheng was still extremely weak, his injuries were too serious, and Jinyiwei was too lazy to serve him, even the gold sore medicine was thrown to himself, he could give medicine to the front of the body, but the injuries on his back could not be taken care of, it was summer, the weather was hot, and when he was transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the wounds on his body that could not be treated had been purulent and suppurated, how could this body be so good? He had been tortured to the point that he had no human appearance.
Seeing Zhu Tu and Chen Yunan present, Xu Yan Zeheng was very frightened, and immediately confessed to the three adults of the chief judge and the side judge according to the answers they obtained from forced confessions: "Back to the master's words, Xu Yan Zeheng, a native of Putai, Shandong, has entered the Xiangtang since he was a child and became a White Lotus Sect. Our sect master is Lin Yuqi, a gentry in this county, Lin Yuqi inherited his father's position, and we ...... in Potai" As mentioned earlier, the only purpose of his confession is to be less tortured, and naturally all those who will not be recruited will be recruited. The White Lotus Sect is an evil cult, although the brain characters cannot escape death, but the family members are only worthy at most, if it is said that they have tried to rebel in Texas, it will really be over, so there are a lot of things that should not be said, he did not recruit Xu Yu Zeheng gushed about the characters and missionaries in Lin Yu's Seven Sects, and the topic turned to the matter of the Peng family in Qingzhou: "The people have long known about the Peng family in Qingzhou, the Peng family is very famous in Shandong Mansion, and their business is very big, and there are often the Peng family's cars, horses, and goods passing through the county In addition, Meng Min's wife was originally from Texan, and she was rescued and cared for by the Peng family back then, which is also the fate of the grass people to know the Peng family......"
Xue Pin interrupted him a little impatiently: "Don't talk about these old sesame seeds and rotten grains, let's get to the point!" ”
"Yes, yes!"
Xu Yan Zeheng said: "Back to the eldest master, the old lady of the Peng family passed away, after our Lin sect master got the news, he told me that he wanted to bring a few people to mourn, and specifically mentioned that I wanted to bring the lady and Tang Sai'er's child, and the people also asked the master of the sect, such a far way, just send someone to send a gift, why bother so much, the master of the sect said to the people......"
Xu Yan Zeheng licked his lips and said: "The master said that the Peng family is rich and powerful, and there are Peng family businesses all over Shandong, and it is good for us to make friends with the Peng family." The sect leader also said that the old lady of the Peng family is an old-timer of the sect, and even if he is not for the benefit, he has to go to worship and worship. The grass people were curious, and they also asked the sect master about the origin of the Peng family, but the sect master just smiled and didn't answer, and the people didn't know if it was the sect master, and they didn't know the true details of the Peng family, or they were hiding something from the people......"
Chen Ying asked, "What happened to you after you returned to Potai County?" ”
Xu Yan Zeheng said: "Soon after Pingmin returned to Putai County, the sect master ordered us to destroy all the tokens and scriptures related to the White Lotus Sect. ”
Hearing this, Xue Pin and Lu Zhen looked at each other, the big people in Beijing? This is not an allusion to Yang Xu, who else could it be? It is impossible to have a second person who can inform the Peng family of such secrets except Yang Xu.
"It didn't take long for two brocade guards to sneak into Granny Qiu's house......"
"Is it two or three?"
"Two noons!"
Chen Ying glanced at Zhu Tu, and Zhu Tu hurriedly explained: "Oh, there are two people who sneaked in to get people, and one was waiting on the street outside in a car." ”
Chen Ying said to Xu Yuzeheng: "Go on! ”
Xu Yan Zeheng said: "The two of them fell for the spell of Granny Qiu and Sai'er, and Granny Qiu hurriedly informed our Sect Master that our Sect Master disposed of the two brocade guards, and strictly ordered us to stop all teaching affairs in case someone grabbed the handle." ”
"Where are the bodies of the two brocade guards who were disposed of?"
"The grass people don't know, the grass people only know how to shop...... The Sect Master has dealt with ......"
Lu Zhen muttered to himself: "Okay, it's another death without proof!" ”
Chen Ying ignored him, according to his own train of thought, and asked one by one, how many times has this been reviewed, Xu Yan Zeheng didn't even think about it, he opened his mouth to come, and when everything was asked, Chen Ying said: "What you just said, is everything true?" ”
Xu Yuzeheng said: "What the grass people say is true! ”
"Now that this official is arraigning the suspects and witnesses, do you dare to confront them in court!"
"The grass people are true, and they are not afraid to confront people!"
"Okay, come on, bring the suspect Qiu!"
That Qiu Pozi staggered to the hall like a candle in the wind, with a pair of dizzy old eyes, you asked fiercely, she was slow, you asked urgently, she was still slow, anyway, she didn't admit it, you said I am? Take the evidence. No proof? You've got a trick up your sleeve! Because the matter involves a national prince, there can be no suspicion of torture, and there can be no heavy punishment, what can the old woman Qiu ask for.
Immediately after mentioning the troupe master Wang Chentang to the hall, Wang Chentang took small steps, stepped on the drum and floated up to the hall, without words and tears, when he saw the official, he shouted that he was wronged, and when he heard that Xu Zeheng pointed out that he was also a White Lotus Sect, the two also burned incense together to worship King Ming and Buddha, and immediately pinched the orchid fingers, and scolded him Xu Yan Zeheng for having no conscience and harming his hometown.
He cried and cried, talking about how difficult it was for him to start a troupe, about his bitterness and rise and fall over the years, and about the glory of his smash hit when he was young, vaguely, as if he was saying that he had a broken sleeve relationship with the old shopkeeper Xu when he was young. This dung pit is getting more and more stinky, and it makes Chen Ying, who is not a good man, disgusting......
When the owner of Peng Zhuang stared at his eyes, he strode up to the hall, and when he heard what Xu Zeheng pointed out, he immediately scolded him for a dog blood spray, and then listened to it, and even stopped writing the bookcase, the owner of the village is also a character with status, but the scolding is vulgar country slang, and they are all Shandongfang dialects, the bookcase is not understandable, and the second is ...... Can this thing be seen by the emperor?
These suspects' testimonies were tantamount to a confession as early as a month ago, and their confessions were seamlessly connected with each other.
When little Lori Tang Sai'er came up, when she saw Uncle Lin's miserable appearance, she immediately cried in fright, "pouring rain" will rain as soon as she says it, don't even think about asking anything again. This little Lori wiping tears is a white lotus demon? She also killed two brocade guards? The officials standing on both sides of the crutches felt that it was a bit too much.
